Diamond Crown Natural Torpedo No. 8 is another work of art from the minds at JC Newman cigars. This unique smoke has a golden brown twice fermented Connecticut wrapper surrounding its Dominican binder and fillers. This beautifully constructed cigar delivers a very complex group of tastes in a mild package. This creamy smoke has notes of almonds and a slight pepper, accompanied by tastes of citrus, vanilla, oak, and leather. A phenomenal smoke that even the most picky of palates can enjoy.

This caramel colored beauty is definitely a nice treat. The tastes of cedar vanilla and a light sweetness really make this cigar an enjoyable smoke for novices and aficionados alike. The construction is what you expect from JC Newman very high quality.
